There have been protests in German cities after right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won 12.6% of the vote in the country's election. The AfD have vowed to fight against what they called the 'invasion of foreigners' into the country, after they won the third largest number of votes. The decision of Angela Merkel, who won a fourth term in office, to allow over a million refugees to enter the country, has proved controversial.
